Americans 'do not know....'

[AiA in Atlanta]

Conservative American politicians openly pander to the anti-science crowd ...

Not being able to answer general knowledge questions does not preclude one from being a good human being or productive member of a society that someone belongs to, unless you are advocating entry to society is decided by a game of jeopardy...

I'm staggered that many people still equate humans with warming the planet and affecting climate despite no direct evidence.

I'm staggered that many people still say that there were dinosaurs on Noah's Ark and the God created the Grand Canyon with age "built in."

Neither one makes the person any less of a contributor to society...except the Leftwinger. They are a negative contributor to society so they must be buried up to their necks in fire ants and run over with a ride on lawn mower.

Still, the point is general knowledge does not a society make.

I'm staggered that people still deny there is direct evidence that humans are releasing GHGs that are proven to be warming the planet and even more staggered when these same people deny it's existence because the short term effect on surface warming did not progress as predicted while ocean warming is well established.

Thou is a heretic and I have just purchased a beard, a pack of gravel and a large flat rock just for you.

The OP story is woefully understating just how dumb the average American is. Just one look at our politics and history will tell you this.

In other news, scientists confirm that water is still wet. And now for sports...

I'm staggered that people used to believe the carbon dating system until Mt St Helens blew and turned a current day rock into a 3 million year old treasure in minutes according to carbon dating

You talking about that young earth creationist, who deliberately had an 11 year old rock analysed with a test that he knew was only appropriate for materials that were over 2 million years old?

Good job, nutcases. Setting out to fail, and succeeding admirably
